I guess a family member's wedding is as good a time as any to let people decorate you.
Hanging Garden
this is from an installation in NYC, plants hanging in an architectural frame (sorry, don't have a credit).
I think it could be so nice to build up this kind of garden in many places, its a great solution if you don't have a lot of room on the ground or any yard or balcony at all.
I'm looking for info about urban gardening.
Ian from the Bricolabs list sent this beautiful example to me:

acres of wheat in Battery Park landfill, Manhattan

IRAN - another blog
The New York Times is hosting a blog as well with some civilian footage from Iran.

And here is a time-line of the breakdown since the election:

IRAN - real news vs no news
I have been hearing about the censorship of the media in Iran. I'm not much of a news follower, but I checked it out following geting a link to a really shocking blog by a woman from Tehran and I am completely stunned... in the real media... there is NO NEWS... really nothing. I mean they are just printing some trivial stories about the Venice bienniale and some fossils that were found in Spain. The only actually news is being sent out by bloggers and these people are at great personal risk of being arrested and killed.
Please take the time to check out both kinds of media, I think its the only way to understand the gravity of the situation and also the effects of this media cencorship. I heard also that it is helpful to these personal bolggers that all of us change the time zone settings of our blogs, facebook, twitter and any other social networking sites to Tehran time, so it will become more difficult for the regime to pick out those bloggers who are actually in Iran. I have changed mine now.

And this is the useless trash they are printing in the official media from Iran. This is an english newspaper. But its useless to look here for any real news.

R.I.P. Boyan Radanov/Rapresent
KVART magazine in Belgrade was so kind and sensitive to publish a photo of Boyan painting and my letter remembering him. I deeply thank Maja Ciric for sending my communication on to them and also Mia David, the editor. I think Boyan would be touched.
running! - day 4 + 5
Oh, by the way, I did go running 2 days ago, but I got a bit discouraged. While I was running, a goofy loking old man on a bike started to ride beside me, like 2 meters away, at the very same speed. He wasn't even looking at me, but he was really close. For a moment I thought he was just a slow biker and would eventually speed up and pass me, but he just carried on beside and when I slowed down he did as well. Finally I just stopped and said to him that i really just wanted some peace to run. He never even reacted, just kept on going really really slowly, so I turn around and went back the other way.
But now I decided I really can't run in this location on the canal anymore, its really too annoying. This is unfortunate because its the only place around here that I can just run directly from the house without running on busy sidewalks. So now I guess I will have to find a new location and that requires a long walk before or a metro ride. I didn't want it to be this way because it makes it a much longer thing each time and it will be a bit harder to get motivated.
I'll go uptown and try running in the city park today. I'm also looking maybe for a borrowed dog. If I run with a very huge mean looking dog maybe these boring rude gentlemen will leave me alone.
Meet Your Maker!
I collected this first zuchini from the garden and last night Kevin and I made a BBQ and ate way too much... that happens every time we light the BBQ! This is the very first vegetable from the OKNO garden. It was so tasty!
